Favorite Beauty Products

.

Hair: This is by far the best product that I use daily for my super curly hair. Paul Mitchell Round Trip. I have went though some hair product but this is what works best for me. I also could not live without my trusty blow dryer.

Face: I have the complete line of the L'Oreal Bare Naturale gentle mineral makeup. I love how light it is on my face. I don't feel like I have any makeup on. It's so quick to apply.

I also could not live without Pond's Replenishing Moisturizer Lotion

Sephora is a wonderful place to buy all kinds of beauty products.

I love their selection of makeup tools.

Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend.

I am off for my surprise date night with the hubby.

Snow/Sleet Day!!

I was so excited to wake up and call work to find out we were going to be closed for the day due to the weather. I work at a clinic and we hardly ever close. Great day to stay in, cook a good meal and watch Sex and the City.

When Cody got home around 3 we took Bosco out for some fun in the snow.

He had so much fun. He was eating the snow every chance he got.

Ribbon and Pearl Neclace

So when I was out looking for a shirt for NYE, I was also on the hunt for a necklace. I found one that I loved... until I looked at the price tag. $14.50. Really. I will not pay that much for fashion jewelry. Call me cheap, I call it being practical. So off to my favorite craft store with 40% off coupon in hand. Found all the supplies and made the necklace for around $7. I love how it turned out and I got so many compliments that night on it.

And again

SEW What

Cody got me a sewing machine for Christmas. I was so excited. It took me back to home economics class in middle school. Man those were the days. I have has so much fun so far learning how to use it.

First project. Cover the pillows on my couch. Such an inexpensive way to save a little money.

We had such a wonderful Christmas. Started off at home and opened up gifts from each other. Then headed to Beebe to go to brunch with Cody's parents and open gifts there. Then to my moms for a late lunch. It was a busy day but would not change it for anything.

It's Beginning To Look a lot like Christmas!

I love this time of year. Everything about Christmas just makes me smile. SHOPPING (of course), decorations, Christmas music, the smell of a Christmas tree, baking and being with family. This year I am not going to stress about things like I normally do. Getting back to what Christmas is all about. What do you like most about Christmas?

I need ideas for my mantel. Its just boring. Help!!

I am having so much fun making these this year. SO easy. I got the idea from Just a Girl: Just One. The original came from Eddie Ross.

What you will need:

• Wire hanger. Untwisted and formed into a circle. Leave the hook. This is how you will hang it. Try to straighten the other end as much as possible
• Lots and lots of ornaments. Make sure to get small ornaments to till the gaps
• Hot glue gun: you will need to take the top off of each on.If you don't do this step your ornaments will fall off.
• Then begin sliding the ornaments onto the straight end of the hanger. Alternate small and large ornaments to fill the gaps so you won't see the hanger at the end.
• Then when you get to the end, twist the straight end around the hook part of the hanger so your ornaments don't come off.
• You can buy ribbon and make your own bow, or cheat like i did and buy one already make.

I got all of my ornaments and the bow from the Dollar Tree. Can't get much better than that. A cheap easy craft. Happy Crafting!!!

This is the one I made for a girl at work for her 1st house!! What do you think?
